Injury Prevention Information
Every year, unintentional injuries kill and disable more children than kidnapping, drugs and disease. Each year, 1 in 4 children will be hurt badly enough to need a doctor's attention. We call them "accidents," but most childhood injuries can be predicted and prevented.
Injury prevention is not difficult. It doesn't cost a lot or take much of your time. But it does require your attention and some effort. And it's worth it — both for you and your children! Here are some resources to get you started.
